Beat The Chasers is a spin-off series of The Chase, that started on 27th April 2020, and the first series ran for 5 consecutive nights. It is the third spin-off of the show - the first being The Celebrity Chase and second The Family Chase. It is hosted by Bradley Walsh.
In this show, contestants are trying to beat all five chasers in order to win big cash prizes.
Gameplay
The format of this show is different compared to The Chase: Celebrity Special and The Family Chase.
In the Cash Builder round, the contestant is given up to five multiple-choice questions, with each correct answer worth £1,000. The round ends when the contestant misses a question or answers all five correctly. If the contestant gets the first question wrong, he/she goes home empty-handed.
Then, the contestant is shown two Chasers that he/she has to face to win the amount built. They make an offer for the time on their clock in the next round. A third Chaser is shown, who makes a bigger offer but with increased time on the Chaser's clock. The same goes for the fourth and fifth Chasers. The contestant gets 60 seconds on his/her clock.
The next round sees the contestant and the Chasers alternating back and forth answering questions. The Chasers use their buzzers when answering questions. Once one side gives a correct answer, their clock stops and the opponent's side begins to count down. If the contestant's clock ticks to zero, he/she loses and goes empty-handed. If the Chasers' clock ticks to zero, the contestant wins the offer chosen.
